PROGRAM
The Käte Hamburger Centre for Cultural Practices of Reparation (CURE) and the CEUS | Cluster for European Studies warmly invite you to attend the next Käte Hamburger Lecture at Saarland University. This series allows fellows from the centre to share their latest research perspectives on cultural practices of reparation. After the lectures, audience members will have the opportunity to engage with key topics in more detail during a public discussion session.
Elara Bertho : Arts et politique en Guinée socialiste : Histoire intellectuelle et archives privées
A partir de deux ouvrages récents (Un couple panafricain. Miriam Makeba et Stokely Carmichael en Guinée, Rot Bo Krik, 2025 ; Conakry, une utopie panafricaine. Récits et contre-récits 1958-1984, CNRS éditions, 2025), je reviendrai sur les enjeux de méthode pour écrire l’histoire des arts et des récits de l’Afrique de l’Ouest post-indépendance. Prenant appui sur des archives privées de Conakry, Dakar, Paris, il s’agira de retracer tout à la fois les utopies anticapitalistes et panafricaines des nouveaux régimes indépendants et de leurs versants autoritaires.
The Käte Hamburger Lectures provide deeper insight into the centre’s ongoing research, convey these ideas to the wider university community, and invite the public to engage in meaningful discussions on cultural practices of reparation.
